I kind of went with Mary Nohl's Easter Island statue theme: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/122019471132255738/
Simple stamping and embossing with the unusual recycled additions of an embossed and inked envelope release paper strip, and two layered acetate sample swatches. Used a Xyron to attach the acetate. I love this statement, "You may have art in your home that you are unaware of."

Yep - even before I read Jean's write-up, some of those were reminding me of Easter Island. Talk about recycling - I would never have thought to keep those strips from envelopes. I like the simple graphic design of this.

I knew this challenge would be perfect for you...I love the saying...it's hilarious and so true...as stampers we're always looking at ordinary items in a "ways to use it" sort of way. Your card really captures the essence of Mary's art. FAB!

A lot of Mary's art looks 'tribal' to me, I actually bought a bunch of tribal VLV stamps that I thought could work, did I use them, oh no. And I love love love that sentiment. Is that a stamp??????????? Oh I knew you'd be in this lovely mess of Mary's art. Thank you.

Great images in the bg especially for your Easter Island theme (though I really had to concentrate my iffy eyesight to catch those). Fabulous sentiment and I think especially with challenges like this, we all look at our junk with more artistic eyes to find art where we thought none existed.
